** CUBA. 13661.5 & 13738.8 approx., March 28 at 1443, buzzes centered
about 13700, more spurs out of that RHC in addition to the bigger ones
plus/minus 28.3 kHz. Then I have some modulation about 13634.7 during
apparent asymmetrical multiple spur carrier peaks. Something`s always
wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 15700, March 29 at 1415, China Plus relay is JBA S5-S7,
fadey, maybe also undermodulated. Usually this inbooms whatever the
modprob. Cuba is about all one can hear in the morns on 19m: 15825
WWCR & 15770 WRMI being JBA to JBA carriers. How about the RHCs? 15140

** NORTHERN MARIANA ISLANDS. 9985, March 27 at 1534, RFA Korean is S9
-S5, from now confirmed refurbished Saipan antenna. I don`t hear any
jamming on this; does DPRK try? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 90.1, March 27 at 1500 UT, Classical KUCO-FM manager Brad
Ferguson, after Stardate, in pledge drive, says this is the first full
day they are on full power from new transmitter, 100 kW ERP, new
processor and antennas; and want reports about improved reception. He
asked me directly how it is in Enid. Transmitter power is 38 kW.

I checked around 19-20 UT as I was driving around. Altho the signal
seemed somewhat stronger overall, I had to tell him:

still picket-fencing
still subject to Vance aircraft multipath Doppler flutter
still blocked by noise at traffic signals
still not breaching stereo threshold, tho caradio shows ST; it blends
rather than separates
unlike 91.7 KOSU, 92.5 KOMA and many other OKC stations rock-solid

Later he explained that KUCO had been running only 20 kW ERP from old
transmitter; that side-mounting antenna on mast has been positioned
for max lobes up I-44 to the NE and down I-35 to the S. No doubt that
makes sense demographically. So away they go! That explains why there
is not much improvement here to the NNW, still a need for a
translator, if it could get a perfect signal input, perhaps from the
feedline to KBCW and KCSC relays.

EARLIER as installation was underway, Chris Stevens of RFSolutions
wrote, ``Once this is complete it will be pretty much the top of the
line radio site in terms of power, efficiency and technology. We are
running the best processors you can get into the best transmitter you
can want. Add in the efficiency of liquid cooled and itâs a perfect
combination with remote control capabilities that Captain Kirk would
be jealous of`` (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WORLD OF RADIO 1975, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** SOUTH AFRICA. 7285, March 29 at 0525, R. Sonder Grense in Afrikaans
including a clip in accented English, S9+10 and still on air; for its
last day? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1974 monitoring: confirmed Wednesday March 27
at 2100 on WRMI 9955, fair vs storm crashes up to S6; also one second
later on WBCQ 7490+ at S5-S7. Also confirmed UT Thu Mar 28 at 0100 on
WRMI 7780, good S9+10/20 better than usual on this NEward frequency.

Due to medical distraxions I could not get WOR 1975 prepared and

** U S A. 7490.15, UT Sat March 30 at 0050, WBCQ is playing a lot of
music, DJ Larry Will, Jane, et al., so is it really called Allan
Weiner Worldwide? Live timechex, said would go off at 0100 and
continue on 3265 ---- but 7490 did not cut off until 0113* after more
music. John Carver files his fuller report:

``Tonight's show started at 0001 after an audio clip from One Flew
Over the Cuckoos Nest. No voice overs during the theme song, then a
clip of Allan flying off the handle about moonbats then into music
which told me that Larry and Jane Will were doing the show this
evening. Larry said that Allan and Angela were off on super, secret
business for the station. Some talk of this week's special HAARP
broadcasts, then a short description of what HAARP was and consisted
of. Then a synopsis of all of the conspiracy theories involving HAARP.
Some more music.

Then some talk of Ken Nordine and playing one of his bits from the
record collection from the old WXM. A refreshing change from last
week`s Gloom and Doom show. A brief rundown about 3265 and the birth
of the Falling Star Network. Said that Monday thru Friday 0100 to 0500
the programming came from Area 51 and Area 51 programmers. Said they
are still running low power during this testing period and are still
experimenting with different antenna systems though no technical
details included.

Phone call at 0049 from Ramsey then into more music. Program was off
the air at 0100. John, Mid-North Indiana`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 7505v, March 28 at 0100, WRNO is back on after a few nights?
off, S9 but just barely modulated. March 29 at 0125, now it`s VG
S9+10/20 with fully modulated gospel huxter; 0522 hymn at S9+20 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 2940.14, March 28 at 0540, harmonic with the most
modulation yet but still too weak, seems YL talking but can`t tell
language. At 0548 an OM instead. Have been presuming it`s 2 x
1470.07v, but since 2+9+4 = 15, a multiple of 3, this could also be a
third harmonic of 980+.
http://mwlist.org/mwoffset.php?khz=980
shows a few remote possibilities (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 12031, March 27 at 1437, approx. peak of extremely
distorted blob at S5-S6; ``modulation`` cadence of some talk but
totally unreadable; compared to RHC and Martà frequencies, but NO
match. 12050 is a JBA carrier, presumably WEWN Spanish which unseems
source, but if so is putting most of its power out here.

12031 blob is still there at 2024 March 27 and now QRMing 12030 Spain
when tuned to LSB. 12050 has two weak signals presumably WEWN and
Ascension. So it`s on long hours and propagating, but not heard later
in afternoon, evening.

12031v blob is still2 there at 1452 March 28 before Spain is on
weekdays. FM mode tuning makes it sound a bit more like speech,
totally unreadable past 1500 and again not matching OCB or RHC.

12031 blob extends up to 12040, March 29 at 1418, QRMing TURKEY
12035.7. (12050 WEWN is VP but sounds OK) (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF
RADIO 1975, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

WORLD OF RADIO and DX LISTENING DIGEST delays:

As you may have noticed, I have been producing these every week now
for many years without a break. It`s been my pleasure and passion to
do so. But I have been rather ill the past week, as some medical
issues are catching up with me, cutting into the very long hours I
needed to spend editing and typing at the desktop (in the long run,
this may be a good thing...)

I was already running about a week behind in completing a DXLD issue
after it was used as content for a WOR edition, while ideally, as once
was possible, it would be complete or almost complete by recording
time.

As of early UT March 27: DXLD 19-12 material as on WOR 1974 is still
in raw unedited form, not ready for publication.

I have been gathering material for DXLD 19-13 and WOR 1975, but that
process is not caught up yet. 1975 will not likely be ready for
broadcast even later on Wed Mar 27.

If I don`t lose too much more editing time, I am thinking of finishing
19-13 first to avoid falling further behind; and working on completing
19-12 later on the side when possible.

I know stations and listeners depend on and expect a new edition every
week but for the time being, I must ask people to stand by. Stations
please just repeat 1974 until 1975 is notified or uploaded.

One thing I can still do is DX, as I was already DXing while on the
bed most of the time! I will try to keep producing my log reports
without too much delay.

Thanks for your understanding --- Glenn

** ALASKA. Caught the last part of Amanda Dawn Christie`s experimental
transmissions via HAARP, UT Wednesday March 27, after referring to the
schedule at:
https://www.ghostsintheairglow.space/transmissions
which confusingly refers to this day as ``March 26+1``

At 0239 and still at 0240, 4500 to the east is S9+10 with CODAR QRM,
SSTV; noting heard on 4400 to the west. This is contrary to her sked
for Sexion VII at 0233-0239 which said 4500 would be ``NATO fonetik
alfabet x 3``, and 4400 would be ``counting to one hundred``.

The same frequencies continue for Sexion VIII, at 0239:30-0245:30.
Retune to 4400-AM at 0245 just in time to hear the fonetik letters; I
think the last three were TAY, and off at 0245.5. Considerably weaker
than 4500 as to be expected, which at 0246 has been restored to CODAR
only.

0246, frequencies have changed for Section IX, ``Spy Cameras from the
Sky, and a Mystery Box in the Woods``: 6900-AM to the east is S9+10/20
with somewhat muffled and lo-key YL narration, mostly unreadable with
possibly local device QRM, but I pick out a few bits, describing an
object: ``On Sunday December 1``; ``who gave you the authority?``;
``RCMP``. Also some music in background. At 0254 it suddenly switches
to SSTV, and then find it sounding the same as on S9 5100 to the west.
Both stop before 0256*

0256.5, the only and final frequency is 3200, for Sexion IX, ``Not
with a bang but with a WSPR``. This is the weakest, S5-S7 and is, as
not specified, a CW message, which I am not recording and not up to
speed to copy live, seeming repeated a few times until off at 0259:30*

There have been many other running reports of this from WOR iog
contributors, which I have not digested before writing my report. I
assume most or all will be posted audiovisually (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** ARGENTINA [non]. 9395, March 26 at 2145, RAE Italian via WRMI is
rather in Spanish for a dramatic reading with dramatic music of
something by Borges about the tango; no translation necessary,
apparently. 2152 back into real Italian for headlines also with
annoying music, 2153 ciao! And WRMI 9395 ID, Oldies music fill at S8-
S5, 2159 VOA ``news`` not quite on the hour --- so must have been
recorded at least an hour ago (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA [and non]. 12120, March 26 at 1432 Chinese with sounder, S6
with flutter, also constant RTTY and CODAR QRM. A frequency a
broadcaster should avoid, but not VOA PHILIPPINES in Mandarin this
hour, so I am not sure whether this is the CNR1 jammer or not. Before
1400, FEBC is on 12120, and even earlier KTWR --- I hope listeners
aren`t thinking VOA is also a gospel huxter by the company it keep
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 4765, March 27 at 0050, R. Progreso is on with mostly music,
well atop CODAR above and below. A while ago, Wolfgang Bueschel was
wondering if they were really starting at 0030 now as he was not
hearing them that early; must have been an anomaly (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ROMANIA. 5935-5940-5945, March 26 at 0552, DRM noise at S4-S5,
which is RRI Tsiganeshti as scheduled this semihour in Russian (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also UNID 5850

** SPAIN [and non]. 12030, March 26 at 1819, REE has heavy QRM from an
extremely distorted and wide signal from 12021 to 12039 approx. At
first I suspect a Noblejas transmitter is acting up again, but the
``modulation`` does not match up to REE-AM in the midst of it. What
else could it be? WEWN has also broken down like this in past. But
there own much weaker Spanish on 12050 sounds OK, and there is no spur
match on 12070 or anywhere. At 1923, 12050 has two weak stations with
a slow SAH, i.e. WEWN and Ndarason/Ascension. By 1922, REE is somewhat
overcoming the QRM, another indication it`s not self. Maybe a totally
different station mistuned to the wrong frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 5896.5-USB, March 27 at 0031, joint Air Force/Navy MARS net,
mostly VP-P; calls heard include NNA6AR, AFA6UB, NCS387, NCS307 (or
are they NPS---? only these are not fonetik); ACA70 refers to a
different frequency but never spoken in the clear; 0037 I think they
were to close with SSTV but too weak to hear any beepery. Amid just as
weak broadcast signals 5890 & 5900 which are not a problem (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1974 monitoring: confirmed Tuesday
March 26 at 2030 on WRMI 7780, JBA. It`s unclear when 1975 will be
ready: see my notice atop (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 5130.48v, March 27 at 0208, WBCQ is on with dead air, no ham
show audible (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 7505v, March 27 at 0213, no signal from WRNO, which reminds
me I have not heard it either for a few nights now (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 5845-5850-5855, March 26 at 0552, DEM noise at S5,
sounds about the same as 5940 RRI; WRMI is the only 5850 station
anywhen in Jeff`s HFCC, available at this hour but has not been using
it. Possibly another special for the DRM GTG on Mallorca today, from
Okee? I don`t think WRMI has ever run DRM (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
